BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the video transmitter according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the video transmitter according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a block diagram illustrating the video transmitter according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes a first data processing system 10 which is included in a conventional video transmitter, and a second data processing system 20 which is additionally provided to effect "after recording" of audio data according to the present invention. Input section of the data processing system 10 is omitted, and only output section thereof is shown.
The first data processing system 10 includes store means 11 storing video-audio data which was compressed and encoded in the input section. More specifically, the first data processing system 10 consists of the store means 11; and a buffer memory 12, a video-audio data separator 13, a video data decoder 14, a audio data decoder 15, and a CPU 30. Video-audio data read out of the store means 11 is passed to the video-audio data separator 13 through the buffer memory 12, and then separated into video data and audio data in the video-audio data separator 13, the video and audio data thus separated being passed to the video data decoder 14 and audio data decoder 15 respectively. Various types of data processing such for example as reading video-audio data out of the the store means 11, writing such data in the buffer memory 12, and so forth are controlled by means of the CPU 30.
The second data processing system 20 comprises a audio data compressor 22, a buffer memory 23, a store means 21, another buffer memory 24, and a audio data decoder 25, wherein data processing in each unit is controlled by the CPU 30 common to the first data processing system 10.
Taking the case where the present video transmitter is used for the purpose of reporting news, description will now be made of a method in which a reporter tries to add comments, by means of "after recording", to video-audio data stored in compressed and encoded form in the store means 11.
In order to effect "after recording", the video-audio data stored in the store means 11 of the first data processing system is first reproduced. More specifically, the video-audio data is read out of the store means 11, then written in the buffer memory 12, and thereafter decoded in the video data decoder 4 and audio data decoder 15 so as to be reproduced in the form of video and audio, respectively. Thus, monitoring the picture viewed on a monitor display (not shown) and audio, the reporter will give suitable comments with respect thereto. With the data processing system 20, the reporter's voice is converted to a audio signal in an AD converter (not shown), then passed to the audio data compressor 22 to be transformed to compressed and encoded audio data, and thereafter stored in the store means 21 through tile buffer memory 23. To keep the difference in timing between the starting time of the video data decoder 14 and audio data decoder 15 and that of the audio data compressor 22 to be one frame or less, the first data processing system 10 is controlled by the CPU 30 so as to be started with frame-unit interrupt. With the second data processing system 20, the audio data stored in the buffer memory 23 is written in the store means 21 each time a predetermined quantity is reached. The first and second data processing systems 10 and 20 are parallelly operated under the control of CPU 30, and the foregoing processing operation is repeated.
To effect reproduction of the "after-recorded" audio data stored in the store means 21, the audio data is read out of the store means 21, and then inputted to the audio data decoder 25 through the buffer memory 24 so as to be decoded. The reproduction of the audio data is effected simultaneously with reproduction of the video-audio data stored in the store means 11 of the first data processing system 10, and the delay time of the audio data is controlled in the buffer memory 24 with the aid of the CPU 30 so that the foregoing two types of reproduction are effected in synchronism with each other.
Time delay which tends to occur in the first data processing system 10 when the video-audio data is reproduced, occur mainly in the buffer memory 12, video data decoder 14 and audio data decoder 15, and such time delay is fixedly determined from the compression ratio of the video-audio data. Since determination of the compression ratio is effected in the CPU 30, the delay time of the audio data in the buffer memory 24 can be controlled in the CPU 30 so that there occurs no difference between the delay time and that occurring with the video-audio data in the first processing system 10.
Although in the foregoing embodiment, "after recorded" audio data were stored in tile store means 21, it is also possible that a fourth buffer memory 26 may be provided in lieu the store means 21 so that audio data written from the buffer memory 23 into tile fourth buffer memory 26 may be written in independent data areas in the store means 11 each time a predetermined quantity of audio data is reached.
As will be appreciated from the foregoing description, according to the present invention, it is possible to achieve "after recording" edition with a video transmitter equipped with a codec apparatus, by virtue of the fact that "after recorded" audio data are stored in independent areas which are in registration in terms of time base with the first data processing system. A portable video transmitter embodying the present invention will be particularly useful when it is attempted to edit video-audio data passed through a codec apparatus, at a news collecting site remote from a broadcasting station.
While the present invention has been illustrated and described with respect to specific embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the present invention is by no means limited thereto but encompasses all changes and modifications which will become possible within the scope of the appended claims.
